Stand Back from My Shadows

In the echoes of silence, I find my refrain,

A battle inside me, fueled by the pain.

Lost sons and daughters, the shadows they cast,

I’m living a nightmare, buried in my past.

Cold winds are howling, through an empty home,

A heart once so vibrant now feels so alone.

Thought I could conquer, but I faced the truth,

Lost in the darkness, searching for proof.

Every moment's a struggle, every breath’s a fight,

Clawing at daylight, trapped in the night.

But I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll stand on my own,

With scars on my soul, I’ll make it known.

Step the fuck away from my broken soul,

I’m rising from rubble, I’m taking control.

In shadows I linger, but I’m breaking free,

You can’t hold me down, this is my decree.

Flickering memories, voices in my mind,

Lessons forgotten, left some love behind.

I danced with the devil, his fire burned bright,

But I’m colder than winter, I’ll step into the light.

Every moment's a struggle, every breath’s a fight,

Clawing at daylight, trapped in the night.

But I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll stand on my own,

With scars on my soul, I’ll make it known.

Step the fuck away from my broken soul,

I’m rising from rubble, I’m taking control.

In shadows I linger, but I’m breaking free,

You can’t hold me down, this is my decree.

Darker than the night sky, I’ve weathered the storm,

In the depths of my sorrow, I’ll find a new form.

A warrior’s journey, I’ll forge my own path,

With strength from my struggles, I’ll channel my wrath.

Step the fuck away from my broken soul,

I’m rising from rubble, I’m taking control.

In shadows I linger, but I’m breaking free,

You can’t hold me down, this is my decree.

So heed my warning, let my voice be your guide,

From darkness to light, I will no longer hide.

With each step, I’m stronger, I’ll rise from the wreck,

Step the fuck away, or feel my attack.
